The OnePlus 9RT finally received the beta of OxygenOS 12 based on Android 12 last week. With this new batch of phones, OnePlus has officially brought the beta version to almost all Android 12-enabled phones.
Unfortunately, currently only the Indian software version can be downloaded, not the global version. Abdul B. points out that global users “may introduce unforeseen errors or potential problems” by downloading it and advises you to “wait for other regional versions to be released.”
Even if you have the correct version of your phone, posts indicate that there are “known issues” such as “not being able to activate the screen by touching the screen” or that your “reset data may fail” if you return to OxygenOS 11 .

As far as we know, only one apt OxygenOS 12 has not yet received the beta: the new OnePlus Nord N20 5G, which was launched this June with Android 11.

OnePlus also called on owners of OnePlus 10 Pro to join the closed beta of OxygenOS 13. But before it can all go to the new operating system, it needs to clean up its unfinished software business with its old phones .
OnePlus 10 Pro
Faster access to the latest software
The OnePlus 10 Pro gives you great performance, a soft, silk-like 120Hz QHD display, a ridiculously fast 65 W-80 W cable charge with all-day battery life, and swell-free software. OxygenOS 12 has had its fair share of bugs, but the 10 Pro will be the first OnePlus phone to get the next operating system, which we suspect will make some major improvements.
